Think about it
My story:
Hi I’m Aaron, I’m 22, and I’m giving myself 67 days to build a video marketing agency from $0 to $10k.
3rd yr dental school begins 19 Jan 2026 and today I just had my last exam for 2nd yr (13/11/25). I have a passion for making videos and editing which is why I want to do this. I also don’t want to work some part time job where I’m working for someone else (I’ve done enough of that since 13yo). I want to create something of my own, by myself, and I want to document the entire journey so I can look back on it one day and even show my future kids. If I can pull this off, hopefully I’ll be able to inspire other uni students to start their dream side hustle while still in uni. Whether or not I achieve this, I’ll post a vlog every single day without fail, even after the 67 days are up.
What even is a video marketing agency? Basically I’m gonna make videos for the social media accounts for businesses like dentists who want to build their personal brand, car dealerships, luxury custom home builders, etc. to help them get more exposure and hence more clients.
What about dentistry? I’m gonna try balance both next year now and see how I go. Hopefully one day I can fully automate my agency.

One motivational quote that deeply resonates with me is, "Don't climb a mountain for the world to see you, climb a mountain for you to see the world." This reminds me that pursuing personal goals is less about impressing others and more about self-growth and perspective. Starting a video marketing agency while managing dental studies feels intimidating, but breaking it down day-by-day helps me stay focused. Documenting my process openly is key—I want to inspire others in similar positions that they can turn their passions into thriving businesses without waiting for perfect conditions. From my experience, motivation isn’t constant, but building habits like daily vlogging and setting clear short-term milestones keeps the momentum alive. I’m also learning how to balance time management, client outreach, and improving my video editing skills simultaneously. To anyone wanting to pursue side hustles during university, I encourage starting small and embracing setbacks as learning opportunities. The journey to $10k isn’t just about the money; it’s about creating something meaningful for yourself and future generations. Remember, your hustle is your mountain—climb it for your own growth and vision of the world.
